‘Rebel’ wailer Lauryn Hill has long proven herself a rebel against promptness, punctuality, and timeliness.  Yet, for Pittsburgh fans who opted to ignore the complaints of countless cities before them, they found out firsthand on January 31st when the songstress was so late to her own show in the ‘Steel City’ many assumed she was a “no-show.”

Appearing on stage over 3 hours after her scheduled time, angry Pittsburgh fans took to Twitter to voice their frustration and, in the process, ignited an onslaught of memes and mockery across the social media platform.  Apparently some of the negative attention reached the desk of Ms. Hill who, in response, lifted an apology to her official Twitter account recently.

Concert Series’ tour on January 31st. After hours of waiting, fans were disappointed to learn the Grammy-winning songbird was a no call, no show.

Taking their wrath to Twitter, they have been dragging her all night.  See highlights inside:
